The 5th Annual WWAAC Leaders and Legends Awards recognized the accomplishments of (5) five dedicated and successful Asian Americans who serve as role models throughout the nation. These distinguished Honorees were being celebrated because of their service, contribution, and dedication not only to the Asian community, but to mainstream America as well. For over one hundred-fifty years, Asian Americans have made enormous contributions to the prosperity and success of this great nation. While there are many different Who’s Who organizations recognizing outstanding members of our society, very few, if any, focus on the prominent Asian Americans who have been our role models for success, great contributors to our community and to the nation, and distinguished figures in their own professions.
